There’s a story captivating the Commonwealth and it has nothing to do with sports. A bullet hole was found in a 25th floor window of the Fifth Third Bank Building, aka the Big Blue Building, in downtown Lexington and no one knows how it got there.

The hole, approximately the size of a baseball, was found on Tuesday morning when employees arrived at work. It was not there when they left on Monday. Photos from LEX18:

Jared Lorenzen’s friend works in the office and shared this picture:

Where was the gun fired from? The Big Blue Building, at 30 stories, is by far the tallest building downtown and the bullet appears to have been fired from the outside, not the inside. The guys discussed the mystery on today’s show, so if you missed it, listen to the podcast to catch up on their theories and share your own in the comments.

NOTE: If you didn’t read the LEX18 story, police found fragments of a bullet among the shattered glass.

Soooooooo where’s the bullet, or jacket fragments? That stuff doesn’t just disappear on impact. If that bullet was fired at approx 2500 ft per second from 300 yards or so, and through that glass, there definitely would be fragments in that room somewhere. Just sayin’.

We all know from the show Myth Busters that a bullet traveling in excess of 1600 ft/second will explode upon impact though intense deceleration. If my math serves me right, a bullet traveling upwards to the 25th floor of the big blue building would in fact be traveling less that 1600 ft/second. Where’s the bullet?

I’m a registered Democrat. I own 3 guns and have a concealed carry permit. Keep pushing stupid political stereotypes though, the country thanks people like you who tear us apart instead of trying to put us together.

One more try for the Mod Bot: I’m sure there is an investigation ongoing and this was just a rush to get the story out there by the news station. I would also bet they will take a quick look around, not find anything, and move on, since nobody was apparently hurt or killed.

It would take a pretty big round to put a hole the size of a damn baseball in that thick window. The glass they use on those buildings is pretty tough. It would have to be a big hunting rifle no small arms could do that.

Some big shot that will never be found, was hit with high powered rifle from helicopter, Hell of a shot if that’s the case!! Lol. This was a hit man with a big military background fellas. Haha. Watching too much tv I guess.
